December 5, 2011
Note that it's not "are you better off now than you were four years ago?"

*In his past two campaign speeches, President Barack Obama has adopted a phrase that puts particular emphasis on how his 2008 promise of change has resulted in practical life improvement, reports the Huffington Post.
At a fundraiser Wednesday night in New York City, the new line was on display, with the president deploying the phrase "Change is" on a dozen occasions.
"Change is the first bill I signed into law - a law that says you get an equal day's work - somebody who puts in an equal day's work should get equal day's pay."
"Change is the decision we made to rescue the auto company from collapse, even when some politicians were saying we should let Detroit go bankrupt."
"Change is the decision we made to stop waiting for Congress to do something about our addiction to oil and finally raise fuel-efficiency standards for the first time in 30 years."
"Change is health care reform that we passed after a century of trying."
